rubygem-SyslogLogger

SyslogLogger is a Logger replacement that logs to syslog. It is almost drop-in with a few caveats. You can add SyslogLogger to your Rails production environment to aggregate logs between multiple machines.
NOTE! You can only set the SyslogLogger program name when you initialize SyslogLogger for the first time. This is a limitation of the way SyslogLogger uses syslog (and in some ways, a limitation of the way syslog(3) works). Attempts to change SyslogLogger’s program name after the first initialization will be ignored.
This particular SyslogLogger improves the original by correctly mapping Rails-side log severities to the Syslog counterparts. The original can be found here: seattlerb.rubyforge.org/SyslogLogger
